Does anyone know of a way to translate decimal degrees to something that I can enter into my Garmin eTrex?

To convert dd.dddd to dd mm.mmm, multiply the .dddd part by 60.

Thus 46.5000 = 46 30.000

I do like Pear Head does:

Also...if you are looking up driving directions, try www.maporama.com instead of mapquest and you will find the coords that you can key in at the bottom of the map page. (maybe mapquest does this somehow now.... I usually just go to maporama)_________________Everyone has a photographic memory..some, like me, just don't have any film.
